In a few prominant cities throughout the country this wall has been inserted. It starts out with just the white lettering. With pieces of chalk set out for passers-by to write down their thoughts and dreams.
Before I die...
Before I die I want to _______________
I had a whole week to figure out what I was going to write. I think most people overthink this question. Does the answer have to be something that is grandious? Something out of reach and not easily attainable? Something that is so abstract or generic or universal or completely out of our hands? Something like Before I die I want to have World Peace. Before I die I want to become pure light. Before I die I want to see the Cubs win the series. (I was in Chicago remember... people can dream.)
On the wall I wrote: "See the Northern Lights". This is one of my biggest goals from my "life list" (see sidebar). But it's true. It seems small. It seems like I should be aiming higher.
After some major prodding... I think I have decided that Before I die I want to find someone that I can break down my wall with. Because, dear reader, I definitely have a wall. It's mighty tall, and greatly thick. It is going to take some persistance to get through. I hope he's strong and dedicated. :)
Either that or I'd like to catch a shooting star and put it in my pocket.
What do you want to do before you die?
